Chapter Twenty-Eight: Honorable
The benefits of being a colt are numerous.
Of course, for Shen Sanwen, the biggest benefit is to hold the beauty.
And.
He finally understood the meaning of the word honor.
He won't have to stay in the palace soon.
The emperor rewarded him with a supposedly large Horse Mansion, which was far away from the Princess's Mansion, in Chang'an City, where every inch of land was valuable, and in the west of the city, where the nobles were concentrated.
Traveling with Wang Bin again, everyone who knew him looked at him with great respect, lest his voice be loud and frighten him.
Of course, Wang Bin still laughed and laughed with him, and did not change in the slightest.
In fact, there are not many people in the imperial city who know him, but the people he knows have changed.
The five sons gathered together for tea again.
Cui Xuan: "Congratulations to Shen Gongzi for becoming the captain of the concubine, is it more appropriate to change the name to Lord Shen or Shen Concubine?" ”
Yu Shuo: "Shen Gongzi, as a nobleman, tastes tea with us, and Yu is very honored. ”
A sour taste.
Xue Shao didn't come to please him, the future nobleman, with Miss Wen.
However, Yu Shuo's words made Shen Sanwen think a lot.
The history books say that Xue Shao has a noble status, and he is a descendant of the scholarly Xue family and the Li Tang royal family, and it was not until he became a concubine that Shen Sanwen understood this sentence.
The Xue family is indeed a scholarly family, and Xue Shao is indeed the son of the princess. But Xue Shao and the noble are actually not related, the real noble is Princess Taiping, the concubine of Princess Taiping. The Xue family is just a second-rate family, relying on marriages with the royal family to consolidate its position, although the family has produced the same rank and one or two members, in fact, it has never been in power. No one in the court takes them seriously, but in the opposition, there are no famous literati in the scholarly family, far from the influence of the five surnames and seven wangs on the government and the opposition, and there is no confidence in the military power of the nobles who have made great achievements. The status is noble, I am afraid that only by marrying a powerful princess like Princess Taiping, historians and courtiers can be worthy of this word in order to please the princess and the queen. Therefore, Xue Shao's eldest brother only married the Xiao family and the Cheng family, one may be the undesirable concubine of the Lanling Xiao family, and the other is even more unknown.
It's just that now, in the Gaozong era, I don't know how influential Princess Taiping is, which can make people so jealous.
He knew right away.
Princess Taiping has a very good heart, to put it simply, she is very cultivated, she is a princess, but she has no princess disease.
Wu Zetian is a smart woman, a talented person who can climb from the previous emperor to the next emperor, and then become the empress, defeat the eldest grandson Wuji Chu Suiliang, a woman who has contributed to the founding of the country, and then become a female emperor. It's not easy! There is no one before, and there is no one after. Very few smart women can give birth to a stupid daughter. Wu Zetian is such a smart person, and it is impossible to pamper a stupid princess. Princess Taiping has always been very smart, which everyone can figure out with their feet.
Princess Taiping can have such a character, but there are many reasons for such power. First, there is no conflict of interest with those in power. Especially with Wu Zetian. The daughter has no competition with herself, the royal struggle is bloody and cruel, and the princess has rarely participated, so Wu Zetian gave the little maternal love to this well-behaved child. Teach by word and deed, Princess Taiping will naturally not be bad. Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, is the daughter of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and this kind of family still has high requirements for her daughter. Coupled with many years of court career, Wu Zetian must understand that no matter whether he is favored or not, his own cultivation must be excellent in order to be respected.
Second, the princess is smart and studious. With this capable queen mother, the princess naturally learned a lot of Wu Zetian's mastery skills. How to combine rigidity and softness, when to be gentle and polite, a group of harmony, when to be majestic and cold, judge the situation and not be surprised, and advance and retreat in a degree. She's not weak, the princess.
Third, there may not be no deliberate cultivation by the emperor, and no one wants their descendants to become unsuccessful.
Although the princess is full of arrogance in her bones, she is lenient and strict with people, and she does not bully the good, nor does she bully the weak when she is idle. However, this did not prevent someone from messing with her.
It can't be said to be a troublemaker.
The identity of this short-eyed person is not low, he is a general who has just returned from a victorious battle in Ili, Wang Fangyi. The Wang family of Bingzhou is similar to the Xue family, and they have frequent marriages with the royal family, and Wang Fangyi is the same, his mother is a princess, and he also married a princess, and his sister was the queen of Gaozong. The reason why Wu Zetian is so difficult to be the queen also has something to do with this person, the eldest grandson Wuji and others are afraid of the power of the Wang family and accept the benefits of the Wang family, so they support Queen Wang. This person is a loyal minister, and he has just had military merits, and he was named the governor of Xiazhou, and he is a good product. The governor of the early Tang Dynasty was similar to the Jiedu envoy at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and he was a real real power.
He returned to the dynasty victoriously, just in time for Princess Taiping to marry. The emperor felt very sorry for the princess, so he asked the household department to give 500 fiefdoms, and he chose the best location, but he still felt that it was few, although Tang Law stipulated that the upper limit of the princess's fiefdom was 350 households. This princess is not only the heart of the Empress Wu, but also favored by Gaozong. Everyone rationally chose to shut up, planning to go down to the court to participate in another book to show their loyalty, but some loyal ministers stood up.
Wang Fangyi admonished, "The princess has long had a law in the fiefdom, and such an exception will make a loss of Your Majesty's reputation." ”
Gaozong was helpless, and was speechless when asked, and the matter was stopped.
Wang Fangyi has always been an official outside, and he is a military general, so it is normal that he does not know about the forces in the DPRK and China. Just a casual word of loyalty, he didn't think it was a big deal.
So......
Originally, the governor could enjoy happiness in Chang'an, and he had to be evaluated for political performance when he went to the place. Many governors were in the capital, such as Li Xiaogong, the governor of Yangzhou in the early Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng, the governor of Xiangzhou, Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Yangzhou, and Chai Shao, the governor of Jingzhou, all of whom held positions from afar. As a result, the next day, Gaozong left a holy decree. The gist of it is that Wang Fangyi is not only brave, but also has a good way of governing the army, and he has also made remarkable achievements in the local government. So they sent him away.
No one in Chang'an City dared to spread this.
It's just that everyone says that Princess Taiping is powerful, and she must be respectful when her children encounter it, and if you don't want to try to please her, you must not offend.
Princess Taiping may not need to say a word, as long as she shows that she is unhappy, she can keep a first-class official away from the center of government and politics.
What is in it, is it the energy of the martial queen, the energy of the princess, or the emperor can't think of it, no one knows.
There is only one point, everyone agrees: this is a princess who cannot be provoked and must not be offended.
Shen San looked stunned when he heard Wang Bin talk about this. Knowing these things, he was afraid that he would not dare to meet Empress Wu and ask to marry the princess.
Young people are fearless.
However, Empress Wu believed his statement that he was divining the future, Di Renjie recognized his ability, the princess was not disgusted with him, and he also became the concubine of the royal pen, everything was so dreamy.
It's April, and there are still three months left before July, so Shen Sanwen decided to ask the queen to advance the wedding date. Three months is too long, and no one can guarantee what will happen.
What if the princess suddenly fell in love with Xue Shao in the past three months? Although this is not very likely. But thinking about it, Shen Sanwen was very frightened.
After all, the princess is now in a state of not having a sweetheart.
Now this Captain is still a false name and has no real position. Therefore, although he has a noble status, he still can't enter the palace by himself.
I can only go to Di Renjie.
drove to Dali Temple again, and this time Di Renjie was not so easy to speak.
Thinking about the last time this kid said that it was for the sake of the people of Dawn, but it turned out to be for the sake of his children's personal feelings, Di Renjie wanted to blast him out. I still have a lot of business to do, how can I have the time to accompany him to talk nonsense.
"Let's go, busy!"
